Credits: 3
Cross-Listed with SYST 621

Intensive study of relationships of different types of architecture representations and methodologies to obtain them. Uses approaches based on systems engineering constructs, such as structured analysis and software engineering constructs, including object orientation, to develop architecture representations and derive executable model of information architecture. Executable model is then used for behavior analysis and performance evaluation. Discusses roles of systems architect and engineer. Uses examples from current practice including C4ISR architectures.
